…If your day just started, you make the choice to begin your Sunday with pronunciation challenge. If you’re about to sleep, you also make the right choice using fragment time(零碎時間) to learn English.

Today's video is also about climate change. Have you heard the news about what happened to the Arctic this summer? Greenland’s ice is melting at a crazy fast speed. And the total amount of ice that melted from the beginning of this year to July is already 3 times more than what has melted in the past 30 years. Past 30 years!! You hear me?

If the Earth keep warming up, we’ll be facing one or even more of problems that mentioned in today’s video. Try to imagine that kinda of life. We definitely don’t want to see that happen.

So set your air conditioner one degree higher, turn off the light when they’re not in use, and try to eat less beef. There are many easy things we can do to save ourselves and the Earth.

Don’t wait until it’s too late.
